When we were initially speaking with various interested parties to take a look at options for the sale / development of some long held family land it didn’t take too long for Copperleaf to stand out to us. They became one of four possible companies that we would be happy to sell the land to. Going into this sale my biggest overriding requirement was confidence in who we would sell it to. Meeting Mark Whylie and Tony Carter over the past few months we were struck by their frank and honest approach – alongside their sympathetic understanding that we were selling the land with a slightly heavy heart as it was a result of my father passing away. A heavy handed approach would have left us cold – so it was promising to find them enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about possible options.

Once I got to the critical stage of narrowing the options down further to my two ideal choices, in the end it was again that strong confidence in Mark and Tony that clinched our decision to go for an option agreement with them. Their clear explanations of the next stages and their refreshing commitment to understand where we wanted our involvement in any sale / development to start and end made our mind up.

We never wanted to be rushed on this decision – and Mark and Tony, although keeping in contact regularly in the process, never rushed our decision making. In the end it felt like we had made absolutely the right choice to enter in the agreement with them and we remain excited to see what development plans they will come up with – and working with them, albeit happily deferring to them as the experts, to successfully achieve a very special and successful end result for all involved.
